I mostly got my knowledge from someone that emigrated from the former USSR (before they gained freedom). So he knew all about the Soviet teachings, Trotsky, and the communist party.

I know and understand it very well. Well enough to know that I don't want it.

@icedquinn @freepatriot @genmaicha @adiz LIKE LMAO WHAT'S THE CLASS IDENTITY OF THE BIGGEST SHITLIBS, BOAT ROCKERS, TROUBLEMAKERS AND FAG HAGS IN THE LAND OF CORPORATE GREED, BASEBALL, AND BALD EAGLES?

IT'S TRUST FUND KIDS!
ITS THE CHILDREN OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS AND CAR DEALERSHIP OWNERS!
@icedquinn @freepatriot @genmaicha @adiz ALSO LMAO NO, THE MOST PROSPEROUS PERIOD OF RUSSIAN HISTORY IS THE PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE REVOLUTION
THE RUSSIAN CZARS DID A TON MORE GOOD FOR THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE THAN THE COMMUNISTS, WHICH IS WHY THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION HAPPENED

YOU DON'T GET TO KEEP POWER IF YOU REWARD COMMON PEOPLE INSTEAD OF YOUR POWER BROKERS AND FUNCTIONARIES
YOUR PALACE GUARD SHOULD ALWAYS GET THE PRIME CUTS

AND IF YOU KEEP THE BOOT ON THE NECK OF YOUR POPULATION, KEEP THEM IN GRINDING POVERTY, FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, FINANCIAL PRECARITY -- THEY'LL NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO MOUNT A REVOLT AT SCALE

WHICH IS HOW THE USSR FAILED TOO

ALL THE NOVEAU RICHE NEWLY MIDDLE CLASS PETIT BOURGEOIS IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE WERE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF NINETEENTH CENTURY SHITLIB, CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATS, HUMAN RIGHTS PEOPLE, ANARCHISTS, SOCIALISTS

ALL THE PRIZED ROOSTER ENGINEER'S KIDS SOVIET MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE WERE PRO-WEST, PRO-DEMOCRACY, PRO-MARKETS LIBS

YOU GIVE YOUR COMMONERS A COZY LIFE -- YOU PRIME THEM TO STAB YOU IN THE BACK AND DESTROY THE COUNTRY

@adiz

Trotsky wasn't even his real name, he took it from his captor. He murdered him and took his name. I'm sure you don't even know that. Trotsky is a Jewish name. Trotsky wasn't Jewish.

@breaker @adiz @genmaicha @freepatriot pretty sure adiz is more of a maoist :blobcatgoogly:

though stalin hated mao so the rivalry is genuine

Americans say freedom doesn't benefit them while thinking that they are exempt from the police state.

Tyranny doesn't lead to safety because tyranny leads to corruption and bribery.

You wouldn't need to have fake travel passes in a free country because there would be no travel permits.

Tyranny leads to disguises, fake vaccination documents, negative flu tests, diplomas, birth certificates, driver licenses, and passports.

@icedquinn @freepatriot @genmaicha @adiz I MEAN WE STILL GOT A VERSION OF IT BY MEANS OF AMAZON WAREHOUSES, ETF'S, AND JUST IN TIME MANUFACTURING

@icedquinn
> but the USSR managed to incompetently dodge it.

Common Russian L. Not to sound like an asshole or whatever but...almost everything "negative" ascribed to the USSR could just be ascribed to being Russian or otherwise Eastern European or Slavic. It's like the stereotypical Slavic experience of having vast resources and genius brilliance but also unfixable corruption and commonplace back-stabbing and chronic dysfunction. It's almost like a societal or sociocultural curse to have the means and methods and ability of scooping up fleks of gold from the ground only to watch them trickle through your fingers back down to the Earth, never to be kept. Or like a feast that turns to ash as soon as it enters your mouth. Whatever metaphor or analogy you want. It's kinda sad, really. That's the story of the USSR, but also of just Russia and that whole part of the world, generally. @genmaicha @freepatriot

@adiz

How do you know the real sane leaders from the insane? They're usually the ones that get killed by the others. Trotsky was the head of the World Communist Party you Nazi.
